I’m at home in bed today (day off work) with bad period cramps and all I want is my mum’s homemade tomato soup with warm crusty bread covered in lashings of butter.
My OH’s apple crumble would go down nicely right now too.
What do you crave when you’re feeling sorry for yourself? Or when you just fancy something that you really enjoy?

Cauliflower cheese!

Beans and cheesy mash.

Baked potato with loads of butter. And grated cheese.

Cheese seems to be the main factor with me!

When I'm ill, nothing but cheese on toast will do.
Thick white bread and tasty vintage cheddar.

Poached egg and mashed potato with extra butter and black pepper. Or if it has to be quick a tim of sweetcorn warmed up with butter and black pepper. Or if there's no potato in the house, pasta with butter and black pepper. So basically carbs with butter and pepper.
